Each tool only has a single hostname ($TOOL.toolforge.org) for
webservice hosting. With manual Kubernetes adjustments it is possible
to map that frontend webservice (Kubernetes Ingress) to multiple
backend services, but there is not any tooling for this. It would be a
very advanced topic to try and cover in a "beginner's workshop".

It is possible to run multiple scheduled and/or continuous jobs from
the same tool.

It is possible to build multiple custom containers from the same tool.
Those containers can be built from arbitrary publically accessible git
repositories, including other Toolforge tools.

It might be interesting to structure the event with teams of
developers as practice for collaboratively working on tool
maintenance. One way to do this might just be pairing folks off in
teams of two or three and have them take turns pair programming style
in running the keyboard during your exercises. Larger groups could
certainly work too, but might be a bit more complex to structure
exercises with more task distribution that would likely be needed for
large groups.
